Radargrammetry exploitation for DEM generation Radargrammetry: similar to photogrammetry; performs a 3D reconstruction based on the determination of the sensor-object stereo model, in which the object position is computed by the intersection of two radar rays with two different look angles Optimal geometric configurations: B/H ratio ranging from 0.25 to 2 is recommended to have a good stereo geometry Same-side to enable an easier image matching H B COSMO-SkyMed sensors operating in Spotlight mode (1 m resolution or better) can be well-suited for radargrammetry

Radargrammetric DEM analysis and validation TILE 1 TILE 2 Because a descending and an ascending data pair was available, two different digital models have been generated. The radargrammetric DEMs have been compared in sample areas (TILE 1 and TILE 2, for instance) with a reference LIDAR one (through the DEMANAL software). The accuracy, in terms of RMSE, has been computed at the 95% probability level (LE95) in order to leave out the outliers from the statistical evaluation.

Radargrammetric DEM analysis and validation (2) A third product has been created by the merging the two opposite side points clouds identified through the radargrammetric analysis. Merging Accuracy around 10 m Accuracy around 8 m Accuracy around 6-7 m DEM Descending DEM Ascending Merged DEM The achieved accuracy of the radargrammetric DEMs is remarkable, suggesting a more extensive exploitation of this kind of products.

CSM exploitation for DInSAR analysis over urban areas For this task the activities have been mostly focused on: - investigating of the capability of the advanced DInSAR techniques applied to the CSM data, in particular of the Small BAseline Subset (SBAS) approach, to reveal and monitor the temporal evolution of deformation phenomena affecting urbanized areas; - the analysis and validation of the computed CSM DInSAR products.

SBAS-DInSAR algorithm: key idea Small Baseline Interferograms For each coherent pixel of the interferograms the deformation time series is computed by searching for an LS solution with a minimum norm constraint.
